Clairvoyance

"Clairvoyance" by C. W. Leadbeater is a work of esoteric philosophy written in the early 20th century. The book explores the concept of clairvoyance, defined as the ability to perceive what is normally hidden from ordinary sight, and aims to educate those already acquainted with the principles of Theosophy. Leadbeater addresses various phenomena associated with clairvoyance and suggests that these abilities lie latent within all individuals, waiting to be developed. The opening of "Clairvoyance" establishes the author's intent to clarify the often misunderstood term 'clairvoyance' and to introduce the transformative potential of this ability. Leadbeater outlines how clairvoyance encompasses both 'clear seeing' and 'clairaudience,' and asserts that individuals possess innate capacities to perceive beyond the limitations of physical senses. He indicates that the work will provide a detailed exploration of different forms of clairvoyant vision, as well as methods for developing these abilities, appealing mainly to readers who are familiar with Theosophical concepts. Throughout, Leadbeater emphasizes the connection between vibrations and clairvoyant perception, setting the stage for an in-depth examination of the faculties associated with higher-dimensional awareness.
